Getting Rid of Plan B

After their fourth child was born, Kimberly Milousis left her job as a tax specialist to stay home with her children. To make up for the lost income, she and her husband, Steve, were working with a real estate agent to flip houses. Their real estate agent’s wife, Holly Lo, was the third person to tell them about essential oils. Getting a little tired of hearing about it, Kimberly finally decided to buy oils from a different company through another friend. She thought that would be the end of it, but Holly said her oils were different— they were from doTERRA.

Kimberly had always been interested in natural health care, but had never connected the dots between that and essential oils. She says, “When I finally understood all that you could do with essential oils, my eyes were opened.” She started doing research about the different essential oil companies, and decided to buy some oils from doTERRA so she could compare. Ultimately, she decided doTERRA was the better route.

Holly then invited her to a business meeting, and from the beginning Kimberly and Steve saw it as a great opportunity. Steve had had bad experiences with other network marketing companies in the past, but he could see that doTERRA was special. He says, “I saw that the product does not need to be pushed and this was a very doable, tremendous opportunity. It was a no-brainer for me right off the bat.”

Around when Kimberly reached Gold, Steve was able to leave his job to take care of the other areas of their life so Kimberly could focus more on the business. Kimberly says, “It wasn’t an easy decision for him to come home from work. Our income from doTERRA at that point was not enough to support our family. We had the choice of either him going back to work, which would hinder my business, or cashing in on our savings.
